If an object has a mass of 822 kg on the planet Mars, where gravity is 3.5 m/s2, what is the mass on the planet Mercury, where gravity is 3.72 m/s2? 2,877 kg 181 kg 3,058 kg 822 kg @3mar

OpenStudy (phi):

mass does not change

OpenStudy (sshayer):

correct only weight changes.

OpenStudy (18jonea):

ok so it would be 822

OpenStudy (18jonea):

@sshayer

OpenStudy (sshayer):

yes

OpenStudy (3mar):

Well, I am here.

OpenStudy (3mar):

Sorry for late.

OpenStudy (18jonea):

Weight and mass are directly proportional to each other. True False

OpenStudy (18jonea):

@3mar

OpenStudy (18jonea):

@sshayer

OpenStudy (18jonea):

i would say true

OpenStudy (18jonea):

@phi @3mar

OpenStudy (phi):

for a given gravitational field, yes

OpenStudy (18jonea):

According to Newton’s Second Law of Motion, if the mass of an object is increased but the acceleration stays the same, the force must decrease. would this be false then? @phi
